Good afternoon, 

In preparation for the upcoming Self-Reflection that Westport Middle School will be
completing as part of the NEASC Accreditation process, all students, families, and faculty
members will complete surveys designed to provide our school with important feedback on our
work. We hope to learn more about what is working well for our students and identify areas for
growth and improvement. Every student will have an opportunity to complete the survey during
the school day.

Parents/guardian feedback is also extremely important in the Self-Reflection process. We kindly ask that you fill out THIS survey by March 15, 2023. We ask that every family complete one survey. You do not need to complete multiple surveys if you have more than one student in the school. The survey is mobile-ready and can be completed on a computer, tablet, or phone.

Again, the survey can be accessed via THIS link. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to building administration at 774-309-3022.

Thank you,

Laura Charette - Principal
